Lest we forget that technology is far from everything...

Pat Helland reminds me (us?) that technology is fun, but there are much bigger and more important things in life.

Not only did his blog entry bring tears to my eyes, but it reminded me that discussions of VB vs C# or Java vs .NET are intellectually enjoyable, but pale in comparison next to things like Bush vs Kerry or my mother's recovery from last week's hip surgery or the excitement of my son at Best Buy last night when he bought the expansion for Star Wars Galaxies. Those things have real and tangible meaning and value.

Whether we program with or without semi-colons or with a J or an N really don't matter at all in comparison...

The best blog piece I have read by far that meant the most ;)

Thank you.

What a touching blog, and an honor to hear Pat Helland's story. He is right, it is easy to get caught up in technology, yet, life passes by with or without us. Indeed, we do need to cherish our time with our loved ones.
